This will be the second year for me growing bananas. For the second yr. my baby banana's are only producing fruit from the first two layers (sorry not sure what the technical term is). Every layer beyond is just a small finger size flower. I'm fertilizing the heck out of it and making sure it gets enough water as well. any ideas on what I can do to produce a full stock?
thanks!

What variety are they? orinocos don't produce a lot of fruit. Those tiny bananas are actually male flowers

I'm not certain of the variety. The fruit that it put out last year was about 4" and delicious. It had a hint of lime to it. It only produced the first two rows..about 10-12 bananas.
